In the first step, each x in f(x) = (x-1) / (x+1) was replaced by (x-1) / (x+1).
 
In the next step, I simplified each expression in [  ] by finding the common denominator and adding or subtracting the resulting rational expressions.
 
Divide the resulting rational expressions and simplify to get the answer.
